South African media personality and rapper Molemo Maarohanye, known publicly as Jub Jub, is facing serious criminal charges after being arrested over an alleged violent incident involving a taxi driver.
Police in Gauteng say the incident took place on Sunday morning in Edenvale, a suburb east of Johannesburg. Investigators allege that Maarohanye believed the driver was involved with his girlfriend, which led to a confrontation.
According to authorities, the situation escalated when the rapper allegedly abducted the man and drove off with him in his vehicle. During the incident, a firearm was reportedly discharged in the direction of the victim.
The taxi driver was not hit and managed to get away safely. He later went to a police station to file a complaint, prompting an investigation and the arrest.
Officers confirmed the alleged confrontation happened shortly after 07:30 local time, following the driver’s early morning drop-off of a passenger.
